This webinar will cover the model building or technical codes, such as the model plumbing and mechanical codes, and consensus industry standards and guidelines that, if followed, can help to control the growth of Legionella bacteria in building water systems and more.
Today’s water systems are made from a variety of piping materials that impact water quality. The type of piping material has a direct influence on the risk of microbial contamination inside your water system. Specific materials have different tolerances to high heat, chlorine and other biocides used in Legionella control. Join us and explore the variety of piping materials and their susceptibility to Legionella and Legionella risks.
Certain types of water-using mechanical devices now require an Operating Permit in the City of Vancouver (Canada). As part of these Operating Permits, routine Legionella testing will soon be required to validate maintenance practices, and when exceedances occur, there will be mandatory corrective actions and notifications.
